 This morning I woke up early, relative to when I went to bed, and then got ready with plenty of time before my health coach call. The health coach was really nice but I also question the usefulness of this whole endeavor. I'll admit my diet has gotten worse since I got the news that I needed a health coach because I was annoyed. In the past year my diet got much better and my health screening results improved from last year, but then they said I needed a health coach, so I kind of said screw it. The call this morning lasted less than fifteen minutes and really the only thing that came out of it was me saying I would start exercising. I already had plans to start exercising, before the health coach thing, so really I just have more work to put in because of how much I have neglected my diet in the last few weeks. Oh well.

I got to work about five minutes early today thanks to light traffic. I was on desk for two hours and most of that time was spent working on my homebound lists. Exciting stuff. I also filled out a request form for an outreach event in January.

After that I was off desk for three hours, with a walkthrough in the middle. I spent all of that time sitting at the table behind the desk reading library magazine and I made serious progress. I think at the peak I was around fifteen magazines and now I'm down to just five.

My night went by pretty quickly. I had a walkthrough right after getting back from and then continued working on my homebound lists. In the next hour I had two walkthroughs. After the first I went and pulled books for the one patron I had picked all the books for that I'm fairly certain I'll be delivering to next week. I'm not sure about two of the other patrons, because they didn't want books last month, and the patron who emails me her list hasn't done that yet. After the second walkthrough I pulled a bunch of books for the Bestsellers display. I was running around that entire hour and it was eight o'clock before I knew it.

For the last hour of work I checked out the homebound books I had pulled, updated my spreadsheet for that patron, made and printed the bookmarks, and got those put in the books and got the books put in bags. And then it was time to leave.

When I got home I played CoD: WW2. They have added the Gun Game gamemode, which I really enjoyed in one of the old Battlefield games. There was a daily order today to get in the top three, three times in Gun Game. Getting in the top three just once seemed ridiculous but I figured I'd give it a shot. The first game went horribly so I ducked out and went and played War for awhile. When I came back to it, I won two games in a row. It was a complete fluke but it felt awesome. It's nice feeling good at the game every now and then. The third game (the fourth overall if we're being technical) was more on par. I think I came second-to-last, mostly because I couldn't kill anyone with the sawed-off shotgun. I shot a ridiculous number of people, with incendiary shell no less, and they just wouldn't die. On top of that, I got melee'd three times, which knocks you back a level. It was rough. I still needed one more top three so I played one more game and somehow managed to squeak into third place. I'm hoping this is a gamemode that sticks around and isn't just an every now and then sort of thing.

I've now been writing this for quite awhile thanks to YouTube videos, but I'm going to wrap things up so I can record my audio journal and go to bed. I'm looking forward to not leaving the house this weekend.
